one of the bulbs burnt out on my Coralife Aqualight T5 Dual Linear Strip and it melted the plastic cover that protects the bulbs from water.
So now I need to replace the fixture and I was thinking either one these http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Aquari...-Fixtures.aspx or http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Aquari...ble-Light.aspx but I'm worried that they won't have the same beautiful lighting the aqualight had.
does anyone have any experience with these light strips? or suggestions on one?
the tank is a 20 gallon long with plants and hoping to get shrimp again.

I would call coralife first. There customer service was great.
I have a 6 month old coralife PC fixture and a bulb burnt out. And it looked like it was a defective bulb because the end was semi melted. And I call and boom 3 days later a new bulb arrived.

I went cheap. I went with an Odyssea dual T5HO fixture from aquatraders. I can really see the difference in light output. I can see a major change in the growth rates of the low light plants I have in the tank.

Holy crap. I am really ticked at myself for not looking at the Odyssea before I bought 2x54w fixture. I paid like 150 bucks for this fixture and I am having to wait for the vendor to ship new bulbs. Ugh. If it is what it says it is, I'd go with the Odyssea no doubt.

Okay Coralife's warranty only covers the fixture for a year so unfortunately I got the unit in 2010 so there's help there.

I want to get the Aquaticlife T5 HO duel fixture but I'm curious would that be low,med, or high light for a 20 gallon long tank? and why is the 30" one out of stock in almost every website?(I guess it's really popular)
